Train from Grand Rapids (Feb. 28, 2013)

A Poem by Colette



I’m on a train

riding backwards, with a door opening

to nowhere

 

I wonder if an angel just entered?

 

Gay boy #1 with a Nikon

Gay boy #2 a potential terrorist

Gay boy #3 bravely closed the door to nowhere

 

and me.

 

Maybe I’m a ghost?

THE ghost.

 

I passed the land of lost mechanical things

I passed a black horse meandering toward a white horse

            in a wide open field

I passed a deer

            not unlike the pretend kind you see in people’s yards

only living.

 

I don’t know how people kill those things?

 

Those living

 

breathing

 

 

souls.
